The Leadership Circle Profile is rich, dynamic—and, let’s be honest, sometimes a little overwhelming. Its power lies in its depth and interconnectedness, which can be challenging to navigate, even for seasoned coaches and leaders.
That’s why we created Surfacing Creative Leadership: a webinar series (and more!) designed to slow down and dig deep—one dimension at a time. Each session builds confidence, sparks insight, and returns us to the LCP’s core purpose: igniting transformational conversations.
In this session, we’ll explore the Critical dimension with Leadership Circle expert coaches Brett Wood and Peter Shields.
We’ll explore how this dimension reflects a leader’s tendency to question, critique, and challenge—and how it can erode trust and morale when it slips into faultfinding or cynicism. Whether the Critical Reactive Tendency shows up as sharp analysis or habitual skepticism, it offers a revealing lens on what drives our need to appear smart—and powerful opportunities to shift from tearing down to building up.
What To Expect
In this 60-minute, interactive conversation, you’ll:
- Deepen your understanding of the Critical dimension and its key indicators.
- Explore how this dimension fits within the broader LCP framework and connects to other dimensions.
- Hear seasoned LCP coaches share how they approach debriefs and coaching sessions when this dimension is prominent.
- Learn powerful coaching questions and techniques to help leaders transform faultfinding into curiosity and build trust through constructive challenge.
- Engage in an open Q&A and add your voice to the conversation.
Who Should Attend
This session is designed especially for certified Leadership Circle practitioners looking to deepen their coaching practice and sharpen their skills in working with the Critical dimension.
Whether you’re a leader new to the LCP or a seasoned coach, you’ll leave with practical strategies, rich insights, and renewed inspiration.
Ready to help leaders move from faultfinding and skepticism to curiosity and constructive challenge? Join us and dive into the heart of the Critical dimension.
